Another Storm Brings Potential For Flooding

For the second time in four days rain and melting snow are creating the potential for flooding in the Harrison area.

The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning from 10 a.m. until late tonight. About an inch of rainfall is expected today and the ground is already saturated in some areas from last week's storm, heightening the threat of flooding.

Recent warm weather has also created ice jams in some streams and small waterways. These ice jams can result in flooding upstream, as well as flash flooding downstream if they break suddenly, according to the NWS.

Steady rainfall is expected to give way to showers by early afternoon, with a possible thunderstorm this evening, according to the NWS.

Friday's storm dumped more than an inch on most of the area, causing some spot flooding as well as two closures on the Hutchinson River Parkway in Purchase.

Drivers are advised to proceed with caution in areas prone to flooding.
